II

The chronograph

A chronograph is a stopwatch built into the watch. On most models one pusher starts and stops it and another sets it back to zero, while the time of day runs on regardless. The counters on the dial add up the elapsed minutes and, on many models, the hours.

III · The manufacture

Gallet since 1826

Gallet dates its founding as a Swiss watchmaker in La Chaux-de-Fonds to 1826. The MultiChron Clamshell introduced a water-resistant chronograph construction in 1938. The Flying Officer of 1939 paired elapsed-time measurement with a way to follow multiple time zones. Racer Rex Mays received a MultiChron Regulator after winning the Springfield Mile in 1940. Breitling announced its acquisition of the historic brand in 2025. Gallet returned with new collections in 2026, its bicentenary year. The renewed range builds on the Flying Officer and Multichron families used in travel, racing and exploration. Today the brand belongs to Breitling’s watchmaking group and its watches are manufactured by Breitling in Switzerland.

IV · Ownership

Wearing and caring

1
An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.
2
Water resistance of 100 m and more is for swimming. Keep the crown screwed or pushed in, and do not use the pushers under water.
3
Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
